2012 Phoenix Cruiser reviews

We have owned this for 9 years. We bought it for when we retired. We use it about a week a year. Drive it 800 miles a year. These are the failures and costs so far 1. Axelbearing-$2500 (dealer warranty covered except $450 shipping. 2. Axel bearing again. Caused by faulty electric brake system $3500 (covered by purchased warranty 3. Paneling not glued. Coming off is several places. Repaired it myself. 4. Vinyl roof was never glued down. Factory error. Mfg refused to repair it. $1800.00. Out of pocket 5. Wiring not properly secured under slide out. Poorly designed Holder hinge broke. Repaired it myself. 6. AC was not properly installed. I had to reseal the duct work inside the enclosure for the AC unit. The seals were non existent so the cold air was directed randomly above the ceiling. 7. Other things that broke, microwave, power vent fan, gas detector, water heater, stove burner igniter. The spare tire was mounted to hang 3-4” below the bumper. I made a new bracket to raise it and stop it from scraping on the ground I would rate the quality of this company as poor. The interior design is very good. The towing is great as long as the axels don’t burn up. The customer service is zero. The mfg warranty is zero. If you purchase this unit, count in spending an addition $2500 a year in repairs on the average. Definitely buy a good Sam extended warranty. Show less

I purchased my 2012 fun finder spring 2017, I spent two years looking for the one I wanted. I took my time and looked at so many. The only other brand I found was close to the quality and craftsmanship was the Minnie Winnie rvs with the fiberglass exteriors. I love this Fun Finder RV. I grew up on camping/Recreating. So, I am very familiar with many types of tents rv,s, fifth wheels and their floor plans. This is a well made rv. It is a solid trailer, with a tip out that extends space where its needed. I've hauled my trailer down to the coast of Oregon and Norther, WA. I pulled and camped n higher elevations in N. Cascdes, and Glacier Natl to the plains. Through hot and dry climate along Columbia Gorge THIS TRAILER DID GREAT! I've tested in full hookup, generator, and battery only/dry camp and it exceeded my expectations. I love the storage, large pantry, shirt and coaT closet on either side of bed plus many over head compartments. There is a fan over the bed that cools down the coach. They make the best use of space and it is the placement of water pump and heater. It is in a convient place with easy one panel access below the pantry. I wish the under bench storage access was not under cusion and ply wood but nice easy slide drawers. I also have the switches for electric stabilizer jacks and wish I had jacks as its difficult to hand crank and or drill, doesn't do the trick. Happy Camping Show less

The axles are just barely able to hold the weight of the camper. I had a certified RV shop tell me this and Cruiser RV will not take any responsibility for there product. They say it's rated but don't have any answers as to why my tires keep balding on the inside treads). Oh the warranty guy told me that it's probably a welding issue. So I say, well that's a manufacturing issue to which he hangs up on me. Classy. I've ignored a lot of the little stuff like a shower head breaking trim pieces falling off, door locks breaking and not to mention water pump issues (when the fresh water tank is 1/2 full or less it can't pump up water to the faucets). There maybe happy Cruiser RV owners out there but be aware that they don't stand behind their products. I get that it's an entry level camper so that's why I never sweated the small stuff. But an axle issue is far from a small issue. Buyer beware I would never recommend any of this company's products. Show less

This is our second RV and we love it. The quality of material and attention to detail really show. We are the second owner, it was only 1 year old when we purchased it. Our 1st RV, a Roadtrek, we purchased new in 2011 was nothing but trouble so we traded it in for the Phoenix Cruiser which we have been very happy with. Show less

Having owned this coach since purchasing it new in June of 2012 I can say it has been as close to maintenance free as you can get. I have owned 7 different motorized RV's and I can honestly say the Phoenix has been a dream to own and operate. It is made well, and the Ford E-450 does a nice job taking the coach down the road. Great company support that helps answer any and all questions one might have. Show less

having owned 7 motor coaches over the years I feel justified in passing judgment on many topics surrounding a motor coach. I have owned two Phoenix Cruiser coaches and I have loved both of them. I found the workmanship and construction far superior compared to other main line manufacturers. I have next to zero issues with my 2012 3100 PC and if I do have any problems I call the owner of the company directly and he walks me thru what to do. if I can not fix the issue he will give you permission to go to any RV dealer to get it fixed. nice driving coaches, they are not for everyone since they are on the small side but that is what we like after trading down from the 38' coaches.

You will get noticed with the RV, which means lots of new friends. It tows very well with a large SUV-does not require a truck. Kitchen in v-front makes for excellent storage and counter space. It is a perfect couples trailer for short vacation trips. We like the separate bedroom. The finishes are very good, both exterior and interior. Cons: too small for destination trailer. Would prefer more counter space in bathroom. Would prefer 2 comfy chairs to tri-fold sofa. Show less

This Fun Finder is so easy to tow, used my Ford Explorer for that job. Love the slide out, it gives you a lot of fun. Show less

Best floor plan for families! Show less
